Hi
I’m pretty new to using Asterisk and have searched to find an
answer to my question but have failed to.
I was wondering if you can use Asterisk from the command line to
make it make an outgoing call and issue other commands whilst it’s
in the call?
Sort of like when you use Minicom with a modem connected to a
serial port and send it AT commands.
Thanks
Tony
Tony,
If you have a sound card installed and properly configured in your
Asterisk server, then you can plug in a microphone and headset and
make calls from the CLI using the dial command.
If you want to automate having the system make phone calls, google
and search voip-info.org for info on .call files. Basically, you
create a file that specifies to asterisk where to call, using which
channel, and what to do once the call is connnected. You then copy
the file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and the call is executed as
defined.
